SRH 201/9 in 20 Overs | Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, Live Score Updates, IPL 2026 Match 1: Aniket Verma Cameo Helps Team Cross 200

Aniket Verma played a brilliant cameo in the end, scoring 43 off 18, enabling SRH to cross the 200-run mark. Verma slammed 16 off 3 against Romario Shepherd, who had the last laugh picking the batter's wicket. 

Despite the fall of wickets in the latter half of the innings, Aniket Verma has managed to keep SRH afloat and has ensured the scoring run-rate does not slow down. Verma was lucky to survive after Virat Kohli dropped the batter's catch on 27. Harshal Patel played a poor shot, giving his wicket away for a duck off Bhuvneswar Kumar's bowling. 

Despite the fall of wickets in the latter half of the innings, Aniket Verma has managed to keep SRH afloat and has ensured the scoring run-rate does not slow down. Verma was lucky to survive after Virat Kohli dropped the batter's catch on 27. Harshal Patel played a poor shot, giving his wicket away for a duck off Bhuvneswar Kumar's bowling. 

A catch, which is quite controversial in the eyes of the fans, saw the back of Heinrich Klaasen, who fell after making 31 off 22. Klaasen heaved the ball towards the midwicket region, but Phil Salt managed to take a stunning catch inches away from the boundary line. 

This is a captain's knock by Ishan Kishan. In his maiden outing as SRH captain, Kishan has singlehandedly dug the franchise out of a ditch, scoring a half-century off 28 balls. 

This has been a terrific comeback by SRH, thanks to Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen, who have added 50 runs in 28 balls. The duo got together with SRH downa nd out at 29 for 3. Important phase for both teams. Kishan is also nearing yet another half-century in T20 format. 

Ishan Kishan has continued his rich form from the T20 World Cup into IPL, keeping one end tied up, with SRH losing wickets in the powerplay. Kishan is joined by the veteran Heinrich Klaasen, who had a decent season last year. The duo have added 30-odd runs for the fourth wicket. Meanwhile, Jacob Duffy has finished his spell, picking 3 wickets for 22. 

OUT! A dream spell for Jacob Duffy, the New Zealand pacer, gets his third wicket as Nitish Kumar Reddy departs for 1. Reddy also went for the pull shot and perished, as the bowler managed to get extra bounce off the fresh track. 

OUT! Jacob Duffy is making his mark on his RCB debut. Travis Head falls for 11, much like Abhishek Sharma, the Australian batter played the pull, and ended up giving a catch to the fielder at deep backward square. 

OUT! Debutant Jacob Duffy manages to dismiss the dangerous Abhishek Sharma. Sharma wanted to pull the delivery, but extra bounce saw the ball hit the top part of the bat, and go high up in the air, for wicketkeeper Jitesh Sharma to take a simple catch. Poor form continues for Sharma.
